Video

The tunnel runs from the town of Florida, MA, to North Adams, MA.

@@SantaBumm that was Norfolk Southern?

How did u fix ?

@@joseangel-yf3jy 452.06 nvidia driver,install old that driver,and you must hawe win 1909

@@sisapisamata ok, thank you. Im going to try that and i will come back to share my experience.

@@joseangel-yf3jy ok

@@sisapisamata Fixed !, thank you so much. =D

Yup! It absolutely sucks. I can't find anything on the internet about it.

Any idea? I don't even know what to call that garbage. It happens most often when I switch to view the map, but it can happen at any time in the game really

@@SantaBumm i downgrade windows to 1909 it beter,so beter bat still liltle stuttering!

@@sisapisamata I think I know what you mean...

I fix that shiit

@@sisapisamata why?

How can you tell?

@@SantaBumm I saw it's stripes.

@@vientheimpostorandtrainfan8508 Stripes, eh? Shows what I know about the subject of the video. To be honest I'm fascinated by the tunnel itself; the history, the engineering and construction, and the lore of course. I haven't quite yet developed my interest in the trains.

Moron.

Hands down

Totally agree!

Me, too. I experienced it in early 2000. Really loud as the train passed by me!

Agree

Maybe 2 miles... Not really sure.

@@SantaBumm it should still be numbered, every 100 feet on its north face. The 251 you will see at the east portal means 25,100 feet, counting down, until you reach the west portal.

I think we were about 1.5 miles in from the east end. We intended to go half way in but were unnerved by what appeared to be a headlamp approaching us from about 100 yards ahead. Thinking it was another explorer I called out a greeting once we were within earshot. At that point the light stopped moving and slowly dimmed out until disappearing completely leaving us entirely bewildered. We decided then it was time to turnaround. Within five minutes a strong gust blew through the tunnel followed shortly thereafter by a low rumble, indicating that a train must be bearing down on us. Perhaps the light we saw was simply the train's headlight reflecting off the tunnel ceiling. Whatever the case, we found a safe place to hunker down while it passed and followed it out the way we came in. The exhaust was awful and made it tough to breathe. It's a good thing none of us had weak hearts or a pulmonary condition. We were all eager to get out of there quickly.

@@SantaBumm, I don't think that was a reflection, it might've been what the tunnel is famous for, the deaths of many laborers.

@@JsMisc That too crossed my mind. It crossed all our minds. But in the middle of that dark and poorly ventilated tunnel, some two miles from the portal we opted to grasp at any rational explanation other than 'holy shit we just saw a ghost!' Maybe we did see a ghost. I don't know. I'll tell you this though, it does make me wonder if there's a Scooby Doo episode based on the tunnel. That's a missed opportunity if there isn't.

@@SantaBumm, true.

The train came in from the west portal and out the east.

@@SantaBumm Seems like this train is traveling slower than the one encountered in early 2000. It was a westbound. I did happen to note, before I ever saw any headlight, at I did feel a change in air movement, coming on me at the back of my neck for some three minutes prior. I kept myself well hidden as it passed by. By the way, was all of that diesel engine exhaust so blinding, whereby you were unable to see the closest portal after the train passed by you?

Why the NS Locomotive then?

one year later reply lol, but NS has trains that run over the Pan Am system, therefor the "Pan Am Southern". so NS 16R would be PAS 16R

I agree with you on that 100%.

The unfortunate part about the Hoosac tunnel is that it's so long you cannot see the other side. No knowledge of whether or not there's a train coming. And no way to outrun it.

I did it. Don't do it

Me too. Sometime in the next few months.

@@yanni2112 what happened when you did it?

Same bro

He found out why they call it the "bloody pit".

I know. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough cargo space on my motorcycle to haul in some decent, battery powered audio recording equipment. It was either bring food and water, or a microphone, mixer, and batteries. I chose to bring food and water into that tunnel. Worst decision I ever made.

Dat Bass Boosted gain.

luke York 2001 "don't try this at home" I DONT LIVE IN A TRAIN TUNNEL

@@87cheezits77. Make that "Kids, don't think of this at home without having second thoughts on your way to the tunnel". 🤣

Used to be double tracked inside. Now, it is single tracked, being moved to its center, for maximum height.

It's okay. The cat is quite all right.

Sonny Dean I guess there would be at least three people killed. And probably a lot of logistical headaches for whichever companies rely on that rail line for shipping.

@@SantaBumm I loved the video scary and fun.Were you not in a safety cubby hole some tunnels have them some do not?They are specially made cut into the sides of the tunnel just for hiding from a train as a safety.I seen some are 50 to 100 feet apart.

@@arkansastrash320 we were able to find a spot far enough away from the passing train. I guess it was a cubby that had a large electrical junction box, but it was roomy enough for that and the three of us.

@@SantaBumm I am very glad you found it.

@@arkansastrash320 Yes! The tunnel is numbered every 100 feet inside, along its north face. 251=25,100 feet, east portal counting down going to west portal. There are niches all along the north face, every 300 feet (excluding the first 500-1000 feet from each portal. (There was even a blasted out corridor somewhere within the center, going north, leading to some door containing a frosted glass window, and locked. Behind the glass window the "blasted out room" was even lit inside back then! Couldn't see through the frosted glass.) Best part is that the Hoosac Tunnel used to be double tracked inside, now it is single tracked, being moved to its center.

+Tyler Lavigne (T-Man) I warned you.

No, I don't think so. That would have been the last thing on our minds.

2:26 Yeah he did

@@HelicopterDr Then all died because the train speed passed is farrr to much, to jump on it..
